Review of The Bleeding House (2011) by Nicholas L — 28 Apr 2011

I disovered this semi-unreleased gem using XBox's ZUNE video streaming service (because NetFlix streams mostly old crao.) The synopsis and intro scense (specifically, the introduction of the soon-to-be antagonost) were very fluid transitions, all the while the over-arching suspense of WTF is going on here behind these thin walls and wan smiles... perfect. I repeatedly had to remind myself to consider the same movie as though it were being produced on stage... if ever it were, I'd be first in line.

The staid opportunities baiting us as audiencemembers to relate to one character more so than another area ll set the be bereft, all the while in discovering this wrold is asunder, we get to the real reason for the story in the first place: and it is an interesting Him vs Her -sort of dichotomy they play.... I'd swear that had Samuel Clements rose from his grave and reclaimed the roll of the weary and perhaps born-again yet latently violent Christian doctor, I wouldn't have batteed an eye. (I kept looking for Huck Finn to make an appearancce, natch.).

In the end, though, it was a terrifically satisfying film that crosses more boundaries than I could account for here in such a short synopsys.

Have you seen House of San and Fog? Have you read The House of Leaves? There are many parallels to be drawn. And yet, all the angles you discover, you will find them rewarding.
